Backing Up Your Computer over the Network
You can back up the contents of your hard disk, or the attached external drives on your computer, to another computer’s hard disk over the network. On all Windows 8 versions, you can back up to a shared network folder using the built-in Windows backup programs discussed in Chapter 32, “Protecting Your Data from Loss and Theft.”
You can also back up files over the network using command-line tools. We give an example of this at the end of this chapter in the “Managing Network Resources Using the Command Line” section.
Finally, most third-party backup programs let you back up to a network location.
